If there’s one thing that rings true about New Orleanians, it’s that we support local businesses. From restaurants to cafes, New Orleans is peppered with locally owned and operated businesses that are growing more and more every day. This particular grocery store has been around almost a century, and it’s been the go-to shopping spot for New Orleanians for generations. If you’ve never been, you’re in for a real treat. Let’s check it out.
Welcome to Langenstein’s, New Orleans’ oldest full-service grocery store.

When Michael Langenstein and his two sons, George and Richard, decided to open a supermarket in 1922, their only goal was to carry the best meat and seafood in New Orleans.

They had no idea their humble little Uptown corner store would become the go-to spot for New Orleans for generations to come. They quickly outgrew their original space, and moved to Arabella Street in 1954.

Langenstein’s is still a family-owned and operated business, nearly 97 years later. Their success has enabled them to open two other locations over the years, one in Old Metairie and the other in River Ridge, so you’re never too far away from this timeless treasure.

In the 1970s, they began offering prepared gourmet food at the request of their customers.

Today, their prepared food section continues to be one of the main reasons customers continue to come back again and again.

Perfect for those times when you just don’t have the time in the day to make a meal from scratch, you can pop on over to Langenstein’s and grab one of their casseroles or party trays.
Their Le Popeye Dip is a fan favorite. This chopped spinach dip is blended with herbs and spices, cream cheese, sour cream, and green onions making it the perfect addition to your next party or event.
